Have you ever stopped to watch the insects buzzing around in your garden or park? Today we're going to discover how to name these tiny creatures in Spanish!
Spain has beautiful countryside full of butterflies, bees, and dragonflies. When Spanish children go exploring in nature, they love spotting and naming all the insects they find - and now you'll be able to join in the fun!
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Name 8 fascinating insects in Spanish

Here are today's new Spanish insect words. Click each word to hear how it's pronounced, then say it out loud yourself!
Notice how some insects use el (masculine) like 'El escarabajo' while most use la (feminine) like 'La mariquita'. This is how Spanish describes the 'gender' of nouns.
See the English word first and try saying the Spanish insect name before flipping the card! This helps your memory stick the words firmly.
